Devotchka-This place is haunted

[gencoss]

it drowns me into a deeper sorrow...

[StayHigh520]

Im also very high right now

[StayHigh520]

Good and bad times associated with this song tend to bring me back to listening to it alot. Its crazy how music has the effect to relive past experiences. Brains these days!

[jifyum07]

i hate listening to this song because its so sad... but i cant stop listening to this song

[MixBernstein]

this song gives me the chills...

[yeahokaythatsfine]

i'll go away when no one's around leave your house when the sun goes down plant myself at the first bar i see pour a thousand drinks and dream and you'll be gone for one more day and i watch you slip a little further away from us you were right this place is haunted change the locks we are unwanted drown me in your heart shaped locket store me in your fur coat pocket and you'll be gone for one year i watch you slip falling a little further away from here

[stevetheazian95]

Anybody else think EPIC should use this song in a new Gears of War 3 trailer?

[DeideisDynamite]

makes...... me.... *falling asleep* tired...

[tysjenkins]

this song makes me think of happy and sad moments in my life

:`)

[Theslywaffle]

pen0s? o.ol

[TheSnipersnake45]

I'll go away 'til there's no-oe around Leave your house when the sun goes down plant myself at the first bar I see pour a thousand drinks and dream You'll be gone for one more day I'll watch you slip falling further away from us You were right this place is haunted change the locks we are unwanted drown me in your heart shaped locket store me in your fur coat pocket You'll be gone for one more year I'll watch you slip falling further away from here

[WelcomingGhost]

this song gives me the chills

[Gimmal1492]

Wow, haters on the prowl out here. Settin the stage for blowing it all off on Hallowe'en y'all

[plzletmego87]

THERE'S A FINE LINE BETWEEN LISTENING TO MUSIC THAT IS MUSIC AND LISTENING TO MUSIC THAT DEGRADES SOCIETY!

[Monkeyssaycheese]

Magical.

[jstrother820]

i cant believe those 2 ppl who dont like this song. they propably like kid cudi and beyonce, and other so called musicians who suck

[JNR192]

@jstrother820 kid cudi make good music

[elliebobellie89]

@jstrother820 I happen to be a fan of both Kid CuDi and Devotchka. Just because you don't share people's musical tastes doesn't mean you have to insult them. Music is music. It doesn't really matter what people are listening to as long as they're listening, enjoying, and understanding.

[TheWilltrim]

@elliebobellie89 but some music has less meaning and feeling in it that others, which is surely the telling sign of good music.

[hannabisiscool]

@jstrother820 whos kid cudi?

[DynastyWarriors4Ever]

T_T uughh i love devotchka :')

[TheDchawks23]

this reminds me about WOW2 as i parachuted in Poland to save people

[borch1707]

@TheDchawks23 parachuting out the back of a chinook. thoose oh so small 3 seconds of free fall. afghan

[Zachalewis45]

very great song

but depressing... in a good way

[16LiveGrenades]

Probably one of the most captivating and beautiful songs I've ever heard.

I can't stop listening to it.

Be warned though, I was up real late making food after listening to this song and I started trippin hardcore.

[landgreen1012]

this song is perfectly suited for L4D

[landgreen1012]

this song is prefectly suited for L4D scary like somthing really bad is going to happen or happend and you fear that you might die

[Xelphias]

It's a beautiful song, but also kinda... I dunno, creepy. Like a dream, or a nightmare, you know?

[WinterWineStudio]

To me it feels like those sleepless nights... that feel scary in a strange way, as if like the night will never end... and your alone and lonely in your house... with thousands of things running in your mind... sadness, memories etc... This song tortures me, but I listen to it often... specially when I'm feeling like that

[pinoixboi]

@Xelphias

for some reason i could see this song being used for a trailer in a horror film or like one of those horror chase scenes?

and yet this song is so beautiful kinda ironic ain't it?

[OhSeamus]

@pinoixboi wow I'd love to see a horror chase scene with this kind of music. it would be the best horror movie ever made. or has there been such a scene already?

[pinoixboi]

@OhSeamus

not that i know of

[WinterWineStudio]

@OhSeamus Somebody made a video with a trailer of the videogame LEFT 4 DEAD and it is a "chase" type of thing... But yeah I've always wanted to be a filmaker and I'd def. use this in a dark scene :)

[sandra82390]

que bonita...tan dulce como un adormecer en las nubes...

[Markyagonad]

pish

[sambots]

@Markyagonad agreed

[landgreen1012]

when i listen to this song its like there was a huge bomb attacking and i was one of the soldiers that made it throu and im sitting on a destroid building looking around and hoping someone will come to me..... 5/5 love this song so much

[Modernwarfare2biatch]

Yea seriously take a chill pill broskii

[fireballfullwood]

this would have been a good part for gow2 when doms kills *SPOILER* his wife

[punkaintjunk]

who cares about what other people think on youtube??? are you actually giving someone hell for saying he thinks the song would go good a video game??? well I guess I'm doing the same thing here tellin you to chill out! whateves so be it! god is a lie!!! HAHAHA

[svagrod]

WOW...No words here either to describe...

[Zagariche1]

damn this song is....good....lol. very....hmm...how can we describe it....?

[fireballfullwood]

sad

[sambots]

@Markyagonad no it wouldnt be good if it was rave

[fuckgoodaccountnames]

Man this is song is fucking intense. It's like minimalism as its the same thing repeated over again with different lyrics. Words cannot describe how good this song is.

[Cherub657]

This isn't about video games. It's about the song. Stop talking about GOW and focus on the song. It's ridiculous, they have created this haunting melody and chilling song and you start talking about GOW. He is talking about the seperation of two people because of an incident. Not about war, Gears of War, or anything like that.

[Cloud3doras]

lol, but in the gears part he's talking about is also about the seperation of two people x]

[Cherub657]

That doesn't even make sense. Either you are talking about the song or not. The song could be talking about the seperation of two people, or Gears of War could be. You are mixing them. This song wasn't made for GOW.

[maksusername]

ha ha, their just youtube comments. People are talking about GoW because How it Ends was in one of their commercials, if you were curious to know why. =)

[CommanderofUNSC777]

Sounds like a song that could be a theme for Gears of War, possibly GOW 3

[MrJazzyjeff510]

@CommanderofUNSC777 :GOW sucks.

[dragonlance667]

actually gears two is pretty fun, it just gets boring after a while

[karuguara]

Maybe not.

[fuckgoodaccountnames]

It would work, but then again, the solemness of the majority of DeVotchka's works it would suggest any of their songs would work. Fantastic band. Truly brilliant.

[toxifan]

pretty good

[karuguara]

Hey this song makes me feel sad and glad at same time, it's hard listen this song.

[cartoonzrule2]

this song feels like your in a battle zone and you just dont know what to do fight and die or just curl up and think of something happy and ignore whats happening

[CommanderofUNSC777]

I have to agree with you on that one

[morralo]

similar to devendra banhart (watch owl eyes song)

[TechNezz]

Why is the K backwards?

[MrJoshtheguy1]

i think either for cool looks or for pronunciation purposes. i don't no i could b wrong altogether.

[landgreen1012]

i wanna die to this and how it ends best songs EVER i mean EVER!!!!!!!!!

[sanketdalal]

much as i love devotchka, but the Pixies are their own league as are devotchka.lets keep fight club as it were...

[chrisalfonzo]

hey dude my name is chad i realy like the vid im on my bros account this a pretty sad song

[Chodemeister836]

My names Chad too :D!!!

[qwijjibow]

melancholy is the word that describes this song :)

[philiploevig]

good thing we cleared THAT up.

[Since0Since]

I love this video *-*

[buffiexoh]

I always interpreted this song as a married couple who lost their child and the woman is in a deep depression, won't leave the house, and her husband doesn't know what to do so he drinks.

such a beautiful song :)

[ELEPHANTspoon]

i love the piano. this is going on my ipod.

[adrian199151]

i could die to this

[DJMedinaz]

sitting aside a single tree on top of a meadow hill of grass as the end of the world comes looking at ruins of cities all around me as i slowly go off and are engulfed by my own thoughts....

few ideas from these comments...id like to die that way...to this song

[adrian199151]

That sounds almost too perfect

[JacquesEdward]

thats the kind of group devotchka is...but hey they are unique and that is a good thing ;D .... this and how it ends are 2 of my favorite songs

[Weirdish]

Devotchka's music always seems to remind me of the end of the world... haha.

It's weird, but just picture sitting in the rubble of a destroyed city with this playing. It works.

[Nocturne06]

Yeah, I completely agree with you, it'd fit the ending of "Fight Club" just like "Where is my mind" with the Pixies does. Just found this band today, love it!

[bumsucker101]

@everyone above: Stop being so emotional and stop thinking about the end of the world...just enjoy and take in the beauty of the song. I can imagine myself listening to this song on a perfect day...sunny, kids playing outside...you know...

[spadehatesscrewtube]

its all well and good to stfu about the end of the world as long as you think you wont experience it.

[cyclepete]

wouldn't fit at all. I would have been pissed if this was the closing song to Fight Club.

[Nocturne06]

Dude, watch the film with this track in the background and you'll see what I mean..! The lyrics fit as well..!

[karaninakaramazov]

great band

[xVagete]

very nostalgic. reminds me of my childhood, especially by reason of the children in the background ;) but the melody is so... sad and so movin. but in that quiet nice way that makes you feel understood but so lonely. like a dream, i' m drifting away.

[CanwllCorfe615]

amazing song. a bit personal. reminds me of my dad when me and my brothers and sisters were younger. my dad and mom divorced and it was only a few years after my dad built this big house for all of us. we visited him on weekends, but everytime we left it was so upsetting. cause he's a mason and works his ass off to pay a mortgage for an empty house. every day from sun up to sun down, just work .

[maksusername]

I'll go away 'til there's no-one around

Leave your house when the sun goes down

- I'll watch you slip falling farther away from us

[MrSunnyBhoy]

@CanwllCorfe615

I fell your pain mate, every time I hear a person gettin or has got divorced it make me really sad, nowadays people are just too selfish + uncaring. I'm sorry about you and your parents, most times the reasons for divorce are not justified. All the best for the future.

[armpitjuiceprod]

@CanwllCorfe615 and i must say... even when its a year old ur post... that ur father really loves u and ur brothers and sisters.... what ur father did is just PURE LOVE and nothing else.....and everyone else should know that....

[kscouller]

@CanwllCorfe615 You dad sounds like Ryan Gosling's character in The Notebook. Builds a big house for others. Sounds like a good guy.

[ChallengersDeep]

@CanwllCorfe615 i know exactly what you mean

[MelPamp]

@CanwllCorfe615

love to you and your father xx

[10Grunt]

@CanwllCorfe615 God be with your father

[loranceb]

@10Grunt God doesn't believe in divorce.. I don't believe in god.

[sirena65mm]

@CanwllCorfe615 Such a sad story :-(((

[chrisalfonzo]

@CanwllCorfe615 sorry bro. i know how you feel :(

[InAlkalina]

@CanwllCorfe615 I understand what you mean. My parents also divorced when I was really little, I have 4 brothers, 3 of them are my father´s sons, the other one is my mothers son. The point is, there is also a big house where once in my early life we were all living together, but once they divorced I use to come into that house to visit my father, but everybody had left by the time... so I always felt real melanchoholic cause always in my visits I saw all of the rooms empty.. I like this song.

[thedrunked]

lyrics I'll go away 'til there's no-oe around Leave your house when the sun goes down plant myself at the first bar I see pour a thousand drinks and dream You'll be gone for one more day I'll watch you slip falling further away from us You were right this place is haunted change the locks we are unwanted drown me in your heart shaped locket store me in your fur coat pocket You'll be gone for one more year I'll watch you slip falling further away from here

[jadius17]

It's "pour a thousand drinks into the dream".

[Elihulove]

this is like a lullaby

[magikmhan321321]

esta es gyönyörü

[DarkSpark66]

Love it!!!!

[Nexoo91]

I love it, j'adore !

[RougeStudios]

really because have you ever thought that maybe he thinks his house is haunted.

[Abandon33]

And you were right,

this place is haunted.

Change the locks,

we are unwanted.

[painwizard]

I love this song, mesmerizing.

I personally like to interpret the lyrics as a song about a father and daugthter growing apart as she gets older, but never letting go of the memories they had together while she grew up.

"and i'll watch you slip

a little further away from me"

The childrens' laughter at the end just emphasised this in my opinion

[TechNezz]

i like 1:58 that part sounds sick..

[dharmok]

at 1:58 ? i couldnt hear much...

[painwizard]

Agreed, sounds like he strikes a double note using a very clear streak. Beautiful:)

[RedKamo]

Liking this song more as I listen to it. I like the piano at 1:32 and 3:07, really quite beautiful.

[bananian]

oh yeah, thanks :P

[TechNezz]

Absolutley betwazzlingly..eccentricizzin

[bananian]

do you know which cd this is from?

[RedKamo]

From the video, looks like the album "How it Ends."

[sythermenthaties]

how about you look at the screen...

something tells me its hidden there somewhere... lol

[Jamiee41792]

I love this song.

[tfowl]

One of their best songs, simple, dark, brooding, and amazing.

[MMSMSJ]

Whats that stamp at 3:20 ?

[GCLU]

sounds like a slight bang on a drum

[thepossiblelight]

yeah man, you're right.

i'm shitall at making vids, but ima work on it, i swear!

thanks for being a friend, norton. :-)
